I recall Grant's early post on the then up-coming Roadeo saying 6-4-6 for the main triangle, and I assume he was talking about a size that fit him - maybe a 58cm? That would certainly make for a "lively" ride!
I have a 54cm Rambouillet, and I too think it is overbuilt for spirited riding. In fact, I use it for my commuter/grocery getter and touring because of it's stiffness. I've learned to ride it with these loads, but it requires a lot of attention. This year I'm planning some touring with a front loading bike - we'll see how that goes.
